Chesapeake Bay hunts, 6 Silver, 3 sterling

[OldBeechnut]

No Gold since the Chi-town 1 ouncer 16 days ago but have had a few treasures the last 4 Bay outings. The rings were as bad as the cookie coins....but cleaned up nice.

What method did you use to clean the rings?

Thanks Joe in Maryland
Joe I posted this because of you buddy. I figured a hand full of silver just makes the cut to post...



Cleaning the silver...
Gerry, I would not say it is the best way .. but electrolysis, then vinegar and baking soda, funny I weighed the one ring before, it was 7.38 grams, when finished it came in at 6.77grams..one on the far left.

And this is a combo of about 4 hunts, maybe 15 hours since I can only last 3 to 4 hours a hunt. One of the hunts, trash and all.

Lot of silver there! It all adds up!!! When they come up that crusty, you know they have been there a while just waiting for a good pirate to find them.

Thats a fine haul!

After that 'Chi-town Honker' it would be a disappointment for you to find the little standard 4 grammers!
